Required Trainings

We are committed to educating the UMB community about opioid use, misuse, abuse, and prevention. For this reason, it is mandatory for all first-time full-time students to complete the prescription drug misuse prevention course. 

The Prescription Drug Misuse Prevention Education training is provided through VectorSolutionsTM, and addresses a variety of topics, including the science of addiction, recognizing the signs of abuse, properly using and disposing of prescription drugs, strategies to assist others, and treatment resources.   

All first-time full-time students are required to complete the online Prescription Drug Misuse Prevention module by Wednesday, October 15, 2025. All other students will receive the module as an optional resource.   

Please direct any questions regarding the Prescription Drug Misuse Prevention training to rs-studenttrainings@umaryland.edu. 

The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is committed to promoting a learning environment that is free from sex discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. As such, all students, including visiting students, are required to complete online Title IX training. 

The training is designed to:

• Promote awareness of the rights and responsibilities under Title IX;
• Promote common understanding of the expectations under Title IX and UMB policy, including what are prohibited behaviors; 
• Provide information on resources available to persons who have experienced or been impacted by sexual misconduct; and
• Encourage reporting of incidents to allow UMB to respond, remedy, and work to prevent misconduct.

All students, including visiting students, are required to complete their designated training by Wednesday, October 15, 2025. A hold will be placed on the accounts of any students who do not complete the required training before the deadline.

This training, by its nature, addresses issues of sexual harassment, misconduct, and violence. UMB understands that the training may trigger an emotional response, especially if you have experienced or been impacted by these issues or behaviors. 

If you have concerns, questions, or would like additional information regarding the training, including alternate training offerings for impacted individuals, please contact Title IX personnel at titleix@umaryland.edu. 

Failure to complete these trainings before the deadline (Wednesday, October 15, 2025) will result in a hold being placed on your student account. To have the hold removed:

1. Complete all required trainings
2. Contact titleix@umaryland.edu to release the hold for the Title IX Training
3. Contact rs-studenttrainings@umaryland.edu to release the hold for the Prescription Drug Misuse Prevention training 

Please note, once you complete the trainings, the hold will be automatically lifted approximately 24-36 hours after the completion time. 

The Title IX training is an annual requirement for all members of the UMB community. To ensure all members receive information relevant to their roles, there are three versions of the Title IX training available. One for UMB employees, one for UMB students, and one for UMB affiliates.

Due to their dual roles within the University student employees are expected to complete the Title IX training for students and the Title IX training for employees which enables student employees to effectively understand their rights and responsibilities under Title IX as both a student and staff memebers.

Yes. All students, including students who complete their instruction exclusively or primarily online, are required to complete the Title IX training. All first-time full-time students are required to complete the Prescription Drug Misuse Prevention training. 

No. The Office of Accountability and Compliance (OAC) and UMB Student Affairs monitor the trainings through VectorSolutions. Each office is automatically notified when you complete the trainings. Therefore, although preserving your certificate may be of use to you, there is no need to upload the certificates after completion.
